Etymology: The old athem. present, seen in Greek in inf. ἔδμεναι, in the fut. = subj. ἔδ-ο-μαι, perh. also in ipv. ἔσθι (ρ 478?; s. Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 292), is found in several languages; Hitt. ed-mi ( e-it-mi) `eat', Skt. ád-mi `id.', 3. sg. át-ti, Lat. ēs-t, Lith. ė́s-ti, OCS jas-tъ `eat'; IE * ed-mi, -ti. Younger themat. forms (cf. Goth. itan, 3. sg. pres. it-iÞ) s. Chantr. l. c. (Armenian has iterative utem (as if Gr. *ὠδέω). - From the ipv. ἔσθι (= Skt. addhí) developed the sec. presents ἔσθω and ἐσθίω (s. Schwyzer 713 n. 6). The other forms are Greek innovations, ἠδέσθην, ἐδήδε(σ)μαι (after ἐτελέσθην); from there ἔδεσμα, ἐδεστής (cf. ὠμηστής), ἐδεστός. As aorist φαγεῖν, see Schwyzer-Debrunner 258). - With the r-n-stem εἶδαρ \< *ἔδϜαρ, pl. εἴδατα cf Skt.vy-advar-á- `eating away' and agrādvan- ( agra-ad-van-). - See Ernout-Meillet s. edō. - S. also and δείπνηστος (s. δεῖπνον).
